Portland Linux/Unix Group Online Meeting Announcement
Who: Glenn Dufke
What: Object Pascal Development with Lazarus and Free Pascal
Where: https://li584-253.members.linode.com/PLUG
When: Thursday, May 6th, 2021 at 7pm Pacific
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom
When developing software for multiple platforms, designing a functional
user interface can often be a challenge.
Often C/C++, C# or even Python is used, but an overlooked, full-fledged
IDE and development tool is Lazarus / Free Pascal.
Using Object Pascal, a strongly typed, easy to read, learn and modern
compiled programming language, you can quickly write advanced
applications and design beautiful user interfaces with the strong
component based model and form designer.
It has its inspiration from Delphi, a commercial development tool which
also can target multiple platforms, though the IDE itself runs on
Windows only.
The underlying Free Pascal compiler has a high degree of compatibility,
which means you can share code between Delphi and Free Pascal fairly easy.
In this presentation I will touch on the versatility and benefits of
using this development tool for your next open source project and how
easy it is to get started.
PLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate abusive behavior on its
mailing lists or at its meetings.
